Help! Blazer PB207

I got one two or 2 years ago and it started behaving badly, takes somewhere between 10 and 100 tries to fire. Piece of crap.

Opinions vary...my first one lasted almos4 four years and well over 1000 cigars before dying.

I received a really supportive email within hours from a rep in their customer service, giving me full directions on how/where to return it. However, as mentioned, I did modify it to eliminate the child proof tab (it's still there, just doesn't prevent lighting any longer as I rotated it up until it stopped working). May or may not void my warranty.

Interesting concept on the air getting in the tube, as yes, it stopped working right after I re-filled it. Today, I tried it again and did get it to ignite after 10 or so tries. The burn was low and not it's "normal". I let it run for awhile. I may try bleeding it more before I return it and try to get it fixed/replaced. I do know that I have loved this lighter for the almost 3 months I had it, but I certainly am not going to buy another one. Thanks for all the advice. Steve
